It begins in the little village of Anatevka where Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill the traditions of his tightly knit Jewish community into his five daughters. His love, pride and faith help him face the oppression of a changing society and growing anti-Semitism in czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, this Tony Award-winning music touches audiences around the globe with its humor, warmth and honesty. It's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion and brings tears of laughter, joy and sadness. Daniel Stephens directs and choreographs the Camelot production. “Marc Chagall’s painting 'The Fiddler' is a metaphor for survival, through tradition and joyfulness, in a life of uncertainty and balance.” "This quote appears at the beginning of my notebook for 'Fiddler on the Roof' along with an image of a painting, 'The Dismantling,' which depicts a Jewish shtetl (small towns with large Jewish populations which existed in Central and Eastern Europe before the Holocaust) being dismantled by Russians," Stephens says in his program notes. "These remind me that for the world of Anatevka, tradition provides continuity, and change brings uncertainty. 'The Dismantling' is the change that brings destruction of a society and a cultural identity," he says. "One by one, Tevye faces the dismantling of the traditions he holds dear, forcing him to choose which ones to keep and which ones to discard. "These traditions arise to create a well-ordered cultural identity. By challenging them and stripping them away, the face of that cultural identity changes, leaving core beliefs exposed that require faith in the unknowable, love that transcends all things, and joy in the face of adversity. I hope we have achieved all three in this production." With book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, "Fiddler on the Roof" is known for its moving story and beautiful, haunting score. It won multiple Tony Awards when it opened on 1964, was revived four times on the Great White Way and adapted into an Oscar-winning film in 1971. In 1972, the stage production earned a Tony for the longest running musical.
